Characteristics and Transformations of Log Functions

Logarithmic functions are the inverse of...

• Linear Functions

• Exponential Functions 

• Quadratic Functions 

• Polynomial Functions 

• log (xy³)
• log (x⁶ − y³)
• log (x⁶/y³)
• log (x⁶ + y³)

• 6log₈(xyz)
• log₈(x) - log₈(y) - 6log₈(z)
• log₈(x) + log₈(y) - log₈(z)
• log₈(x) + log₈(y) + 6log₈(z)

f(x)=2ln(x+2)

Describe the transformation

• Vertical Stretch by 2, translation 2 units to the left

• Vertical Compression by 2, translation 2 units to the left

• Vertical Stretch by 2, translation 2 units to the right

• Vertical Compression by 2, translation 2 units to the right

f(x)=log₅(x+4) - 2

Describe the transformation

• translation 4 units to the right, 2 units down

• translation 4 units to the left, 2 units down

• translation 4 units to the up, 2 units right

• translation 4 units to the up, 2 units left

Write the equation of a natural logarithmic function that has been shifted two units to the left, one unit up, and vertically stretched by a factor of three. (Begin your answer with "y=." Use parentheses where necessary.)
